I already went to several PMI seminars, I found 3 reasons of why we need to attend:
-The learning of new ideas and to listen to the good advice of great PMP experts and professionals
-Developing a good communication between you and other applicants PMP.
-Practice dealing with other people, in preparation to project tasks.
However, that you often hear the majority of experts PMP is not difficult, but we knew that this PMP exam is difficult. Most of them use simulators to help them with training. I would like to share with you on how to pass the PMP certification exam with these simulators. But before that, we must first understand what is the project management certification exam.
Learn about the PMP exam
The PMP examination is a multiple-choice question and should be carried out in four hours. The review has 25 questions of "test", therefore, there are only 175 questions numbered alive. Its main objective is to test the PMP knowledge and skills of the applicant in certain situations and problems.
This PMP exam is prepared and given by the Project Management Institute (PMI), a well-known organization that provides the PMP certification after passing the exam successfully. But this particular test is not given freely. You must pay for it.
A suggestion: If you apply as a PMI member before taking the examination and training, has a large amount of discounts. In addition, you can get more benefits than those which are not. Therefore, better apply now. It does not cost that much. In addition, it will be more expensive if you are not a member.
Now, we need to know the methods used by the newly certified PMPs and review whether this strategy will do well with you. Most of them had taken PMP, PMP training course, study the PMBOK guide and practices with simulators for PMP, group study exam, review the maps and the formulae for the projects and many more. It is essential that are prepared months in advance of the review. Even recommended to have at least 1 month in PMP training.
You could say that the review is not so difficult, but if not prepare for the exam, will be scratching your head because you do not know what would be the best answer to the question in particular. Thinking that you are paying for such a review, be wasting your money if you are not able to pass. It still has a responsibility. Also, they have gone to seminars and correctly use the methods they have learned in their practical application.
Through the use of the Internet, it is not impossible to reach all the resources for the PMP exam. Even the example questions are online and some have explanations of the answers, especially if these questions are more situational problems.
And the last process in the preparation for the PMP exam is occupying PMP Simulator. These simulators or mock questions give a glance on what will happen during the test. It provides an environment like the real exam. But this test contains questions that will come out during the test. Only try if they are really prepared for the exam. If you find any weaknesses, easily could Polish it until that is fully equipped to undertake the review.
This is the way to pass the PMP exam. Use all the resources provided. You will surely receive the fruit of his work, the certification you are looking for. Good luck in your exam!
